Choose Materials & Finishes —64 Procedural PBR Swatches

Sixty-four finishes, and none of them are flat pictures. Builder builds each material procedurally from height fields, so clinker brick has real normals and cavity occlusion, standing-seam metal catches the sun on its seams, and the paving sets read as ground, not wallpaper. Resin gravel, hoggin, slate chip, bark, decking with a composite variant, and tarmac round out the ground work.

What you get

Materials & finishes is one of fifteen feature pages covering what ships in Builder today — every claim here maps to a shipped, verified feature. The list below is the concrete surface:

  • 64 material swatches — clinker brick, standing-seam metal, clay tiles, planks, plaster, concrete, siding, shingles and more
  • Procedural PBR from height fields — real normals plus cavity occlusion, not photos pasted flat
  • Full paving sets: block stretcher, herringbone, basketweave, brick pavers, granite setts, sawn slabs, riven flagstone, large porcelain, grass pavers, cobbles, crazy paving, stepping stones
  • Ground work included: resin gravel, hoggin, slate chip, bark, decking and composite, tarmac
  • Finishes are saved with the design and travel with every shared link
  • Colours & finishes anywhere is one of the five share areas — delegate the painting

FAQ

Are the materials photos or textures?

Neither. Each of the 64 swatches is built procedurally from height fields, which gives real surface normals and cavity occlusion — the brick has depth, the seams catch light, the shadows stay honest at grazing angles.

What can I put on the ground?

Twelve paving sets from block stretcher to stepping stones, plus resin gravel, hoggin, slate chip, bark, decking with a composite variant, and tarmac. Drives, paths, terraces and courtyards are covered.

Do my finishes survive sharing?

Yes — finishes are saved with the design, so a link opened by your architect or your client shows exactly the materials you chose, and they can co-edit them if you grant the colours & finishes area.

Open the designer and put clinker brick on the walls — it will look like clinker brick.

No install, no plugin — a house builds itself the moment the page opens.
